If it's a gift, forget it, but Xiao Ling'er really likes this dagger. Now it is not as good as in the era before her, it is good to have a knife on her body to defend herself, and there are many places where she can use it to collect medicine in the mountains. Brother Zhou personally went to the county seat to fight, although she didn't like to owe favors to others, but this intention was naturally the essential.

"It's still a little bothering, compared to him, we can't do anything about it." Aunt Hua also smiled.

Zhou Shen touched the back of his head, "Where Aunt Hua is, it is all her heart, no matter how big or small, we are all in the same village, so we naturally have to take care of each other." ”

"Ouch, Huarong, you're right, how can you compare the things that are given between young men and women." As soon as Zhou Shen's words fell, before Aunt Hua could speak, a voice sounded on the side, and the yin and yang weirdness disturbed the atmosphere very much.

Xiao Ling'er looked over, and it was Liang Qiulan who walked over.

was looking at the dagger given by Brother Zhou, Xiao Ling'er didn't even notice when she came over.

Although the last incident was successful and made Liang Qiulan stop for a few months, she naturally didn't expect that Xiao Ling'er would be a blessing in disguise and win over the hearts of the villagers, Liang Qiulan was still angry in her heart, and she always felt that her hatred was not taken to heart at all.

She originally wanted to rub and rub Li Huarong to do something more, but she never thought that this Li Huarong was not only timid, but also really soft in his ears, and he bought her with a little impatiens and a little reward, and actually said that he was unexpected, and said a bunch of good things about Xiao Ling'er.

Just like now, as soon as he said this, Li Huarong frowned.

"Aunt Qiu, what do you want to say, the little lady has helped us so much, and we should repay her some."

"Yo, Aunt Hua, what kind of ecstasy soup did this Xiao Ling'er pour into you, so that you can help her talk like that. Even if you make a little money with it, Zhou Shen doesn't get anything, but you still step forward like this, you still don't understand what it means. ”

Everyone knows that a woman's chastity is the most important thing in this era, but Liang Qiulan has to make it unclear between her and Brother Zhou, and she insists on attracting criticism.

"Yes, you, Hugh is going to fool me again, the little lady is kind-hearted, but she is not the kind of person you said."

But Xiao Ling'er knew that Aunt Hua had received some kindness from herself, so she naturally didn't believe Liang Qiulan's words and was willing to say a few words for herself, but others listened to it so much that she still had some thoughts in her heart.

Zhou Shen was afraid that this would make Liang Qiulan misunderstand the reputation of the little lady, and immediately defended herself.

"Aunt Qiu, what kind of person is the little lady, in the past few months, we all know very well that the people in the village should take care of each other, if you are narrow-minded and don't want to be convenient with others, why bother to slander people's innocence."

"Look, I just said that, and it was like this. Last time, the little lady taught me a sentence, I went back to learn a lot, but I also learned two sentences, one sentence, called no wind and no waves, and the other sentence called wanting to cover the more and more black it is. Coincidentally, isn't it, isn't it just you? ”

Liang Qiulan is also interesting, she doesn't work other things, but she works hard verbally. I suffered a loss last time, so I have to get it back this time.

"You!

"Okay, okay, Xiao Shen, Qiu Lan, everyone is in the same village, so let's give way to each other verbally, why fight." Li Huarong looked at it and hurriedly came out to play a round, "Qiulan, you too, the little lady passed the door of the Mei family, jokes are jokes, this is not a good thing to say." ”

"Aunt Hua, actually, I'm also to blame for this." Xiao Ling'er stood up and waved lightly to signal that Little Brother Zhou didn't have to fight with Liang Qiulan anymore.

She doesn't have Aunt Hua's soft-heartedness, and unlike Aunt Cui, she can still distinguish a little black and white, Liang Qiulan is narrow-minded and thick-skinned, but she can't get rid of it with a sentence or two.

If this is the case, she will embarrass her several times, and she will not let Liang Qiulan retreat without knowing the difficulty.

To deal with her, you have to use some side moves.

"Earlier than you, Aunt Qiu came to the yard to ask about the collection and sale of medicine, but I had just started collecting medicine at that time, and I didn't know if this road would work, so it was not good for Aunt Qiu to come with me, and I was afraid that it would affect her. Now that this road is working, I forgot to inform Aunt Qiu that I was negligent. ”

"I—I didn't think so!" Liang Qiulan's eyes were sharp, and she hurriedly explained.

But this explanation is not worth much, Aunt Hua and Aunt Cui both know that Liang Qiulan had been to the little lady's house early on, and she also told them about her selling medicine.

Now I can figure it out, it turns out that I made some money selling medicine with red eyes, and it's no wonder that I made things difficult for the little lady several times, but I don't know that people are kind in their hearts, but I don't want to affect her before the matter is decided.

As soon as the limelight swayed left and right, Liang Qiulan had the upper hand again.

"Qiulan, we know that you have a lot of thoughts, if you really want to follow the little lady, it is clear that the little lady is kind and will not embarrass people."

"Hey, I can make a few more bucks by selling medicine, and selling it for a month is not enough for my family to take on a job, who do you look down on." Liang Qiulan snorted coldly, "Hua Rong, you just follow with a dead eye, anyway, I won't do this kind of thing if I die, it's a waste of time!" ”

"Alas, is Aunt Qiu really reluctant to come?"

Xiao Ling'er pretended to look a little pity, and Li Huarong couldn't bear to look at it, "Little lady, I know that you are kind in your heart, and you want to take care of everyone in everything." But Qiulan is not on her mind at all, it is better not to come, lest the last thing happen again. ”

"Li Huarong, you ......"

"Also, after all, my work of collecting medicine is a bit harder, and I don't earn much, since Aunt Qiu is unwilling to come, I can't force it." Xiao Ling'er doesn't mind doing this kind of thing at all, but since the bad guys are all rushing to do it, then she naturally carries the burden of this kind little white lotus next. "Aunt Qiu, it's okay if you don't do the medicine, but I don't seem to be very troublesome to watch my aunt carry water back and forth to water the fields several times these days, and I have an idea in my heart, I plan to see if I can make a waterwheel or the like, divert water for irrigation, and save a lot of effort."

"Waterwheel?"

"Well, it's a machine that can draw water for irrigation like a wheel."

"I seem to have heard of this thing." Aunt Cui's eyes lit up, "Didn't there be a storyteller from the teahouse in the town before, and told a few interesting stories about the east, saying that they have a big wheel there that can guide the water from the river all the way to irrigate the fields, which can save a lot of effort, but this kind of thing, can we do it?" ”

"Just try it."

In fact, Xiao Ling'er already had an idea, she had seen these when she went to the countryside, not only the waterwheel, but also the water plough derived from it, at that time, they used this to make a lot of medicines, and the use of the waterwheel to drive the stone mill to pound the medicine saved a lot of effort. She was idle at that time, and she had made a small watermill by herself, which was quite familiar.

With this period of time, there are more people who join her to collect medicine, and it takes a lot of effort to concoct the original product in her hand, and if it can be replaced by material resources, the process will be much faster.

So a few days ago, she was secretly thinking about this matter in her heart, and she also hand-drew several simple pictures, if someone is willing to help her, I believe this thing should not be difficult to do.

"Aunt Hua, Aunt Cui, now that it is autumn, there is a lot of wood on the mountain, if we all work together to make a waterwheel, not only can it be used to divert water to irrigate the fields, but also to make water ploughs for pounding medicine or milling rice, all of which are used to the fullest. It's just that this thing is a bit complicated to do, and it needs more people to help, I don't know what you think? ”

"This ......" Although Aunt Cui has heard of the waterwheel, she is still a little hesitant, but Aunt Hua has become the first person to support her.

"Little lady, you have always been smart, if you think it is feasible, I will let my family help you do it, if not, it will take some effort, if it is done, it will be much more convenient to water the field and mill rice in the future."

"Eh, Hua Rong said so, and I also let my family come together." Aunt Cui didn't hesitate for long this time, although her trust in Xiao Ling'er was not as good as that of Aunt Hua, but during this time, Xiao Ling'er didn't lose them at all. She once went to the town to ask for this price, but not only did they not buy it, but even if they were willing, they didn't have the price given by the little lady at all.

She can be regarded as completely dispelling the mustard, knowing that the little lady is just like Hua Rong said, and she really treats the people in the village sincerely.

"Alright, little lady, I'll talk to the other families in the village and see if they want to, and I'll leave the matter to me, and you'll figure out what you need to do."

Xiao Ling'er found that Aunt Hua has also become a lot more straightforward, in fact, in addition to her ears and soft-heartedness, she is still very neat in doing things. She was very glad that she didn't save effort last time and directly took the evidence out to confront her, but chose to leave a personal favor, just because of this favor, it really made Aunt Hua help her a lot.

She thought, nodded, and looked at Liang Qiulan on the side again.

Liang Qiulan stood aside, although she didn't speak, her ears were very pointed, and she had been listening carefully to their words, and she had to pretend to be casual, which was embarrassing for her.

Xiao Ling'er laughed and walked towards her, "Aunt Qiu, I don't know if you can listen, although you haven't collected medicine with us, but everyone is from the village, if you want, you can also come with us, and when the time comes, you can lead a canal to your field, isn't it much more convenient." ”

"Little lady, she just slandered our medicine collection, now that you have a good thing, why do you have to think about Qiulan, people don't necessarily accept your kindness."
